Censuses of wild aquatic Oasis of the valley Canneviè-Porticino
The Oasis Valley Canneviè-Porticino is included in the list of wetlands affected by the Italian winter censuses of waterfowl carried out in the context of the international project “International Waterfowl Census” (IWC), dedicated to the study of the distribution and numerical strength of the people of these animals.In this project, which started in Western Europe in 1967, Italy joined in 1975 and from then until mid-January censuses are conducted regularly in most of the wetlands of our country (currently about 500) on the part of volunteers with specific expertise.
Ekoclub International, which since 2007 has been entrusted by the Province of Ferrara management of the Oasis Valley Canneviè-Porticino, intended to promote, together with ACMA – Sectoral FIDC, even the monthly censuses of wild aquatic. This is to determine which and how many species of aquatic birds, or at least dependent on wetlands, whether sedentary or nesting or hibernated in Oasis, as well as those that use the habitat for one stop shorter or longer during the pre-migration and post-reproductive.
